Since the beginning, the idea of preserving the vibrancy of youth and maintaining physical good looks have sent countless women and men on a desperate search for the mythical “fountain of youth.” In the face of the rapidly-increasing number of aesthetic and rejuvenation clinics, the search continues.

Lumina Skin & Surgery stands out for its one-of-a-kind service that guarantees the most pleasurable beauty experience. Established in 2009, it practices a clear-cut approach to beauty and making its clientele look good and feel good about themselves.

Quality Service

First is quality service. Far from the antiseptic environment of the usual beauty enhancement clinic, Lumina welcomes with a luxurious lounge where clients can relax and consult with experts. Here, one can enjoy a cup of premium coffee, or the center’s signature organic tea while going through the menu of services. The service is unhurried, yet friendly and efficient.

Lumina operates through the skilled service of trained professionals—from its head surgeon to the staff of nurses who have undergone rigorous training. Clients can consult with the clinic’s in-house dermatologist who checks, diagnoses, and prescribes the appropriate therapy for particular problems.

The warm atmosphere and friendly ambience, combined with professional care and service, make Lumina a thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding experience.

This delivers gentle hair removal using light energy that penetrates hair follicle roots while preserving the surrounding skin. No darkening side effects, just smooth, hair-free area.

VIBRANT IV

Glutathione, together with Vitamin C, is a powerful antioxidant. It aids in decreasing the damaging results brought about by environmental hazards. Also, it neutralizes the effects of free radicals. Furthermore, the Vitamin C added to the glutathione creates a longer-lasting effect. Glutathione and Vitamin C are considered to be among the most effective skin whitening products. Its beneficial interaction gives the skin a youthful and makes it lighter as both are proven to decrease the production of melanin.

CONTURA RF

Lumina’s popular radio frequency (RF) treatment with infrared, tissue mobilization and suction is used in treatments to effectively contour the body and reduce the appearance of cellulites and fats. With deep, controlled heating, fatty deposits under the skin are drained through the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite, tightening the tissue, and increasing blood circulation. Based on the current RF technology, Contura RF yields smoother and toned results on the target problem area.

XEOSHAPE CRYOLIPOLYSIS

This safely delivers precise and controlled cooling that effectively targets, crystallizes and eliminates fat cells to sculpt problem areas. The FDA-approved cryolipolysis is a target-specific fat reduction procedure with absolutely no downtime and guarantees the permanent removal of fats cells in the treated area. This removes unwanted bulges in no time.

With Lumina’s breakthrough technology in enhancing the skin and body, defying age and keeping one’s youthful glow and shape may cease to be just a myth… but a beautiful reality.

Andrew Wolff, Gareth Holgate, Harry Morris and Chris Everingham of the National Rugby Team join forces, not to tackle enemies in the field, but the ones that haunt every man (and woman) almost every single day—skin problems.

Men take center stage this June as Flawless introduces the newest faces to join their esteemed roster of celebrity endorsers—Andrew Wolff, Gareth Holgate, Harry Morris and Chris Everingham of the National Rugby Team.

Donning formal wear with pops of Flawless’ signature pink tones, the four athletes appear together for the famed skincare clinic’s newest campaign, Real Men Do Care. Aimed at helping break the long-standing idea that guys don’t need and seek the same kind of care that women do, the new men of Flawless say they are very proud to have been chosen to champion the promotion of self care among members of their gender.

A flawless guy should not just take care of his inside with a healthy diet but take care of his aesthetic look. And a flawless guy shouldn’t be ashamed to be a little bit vain, it’s taking care of himself, be proud of it. – Andrew Wolff

“Everyone needs to look presentable,” shares Wolff. “Regardless of what you do, whether you’re an athlete, a doctor or a businessman, we all want to look our best in any situation; we all need that, especially if we want to excel in something. Knowing that you look good, gives you confidence, and that’s what we’re trying to say here. It’s OK for us men to want to get that confidence by feeling good about ourselves.”

Real Men Who Care

When asked as to why the four were picked to endorse Flawless, Rubby Sy, the brand’s CEO says,

“Aside from their natural good looks and macho appeal, what most people don’t know is that these guys, individually, all head efforts to improve the lives of their fellowmen.”

“Harry, for one, is a marine biologist. He not only studies but helps protect marine life in the country. Chris, on the other hand, promotes healthy living through proper eating and exercise while Gaz and Andrew are both very active on helping underprivileged kids learn rugby and doing other charity work.”

Real Men. Real Problems.

Much like women, men face various skin concerns. Large pores, oiliness, uneven skin tone, acne, dark marks and scars—these are just some of the problems that guys deal with; which are more pronounced among Filipinos due mainly to the Philippines’ warm climate.

Flawless understands this all too well, that’s why the beauty chain, dubbed as the country’s preferred clinic for face, body and medical aesthetic services, continually creates products and services that are meant to help everyone achieve the most beautiful expression themselves. From facials treatments done in a guaranteed hygienic setting by well-trained medical staff, to specially-formulated homecare products like soaps, toners, moisturizers and sunscreens, Flawless offers safe, medically-sound and proven-effective solutions for both men and women of any age and skin type.
